New Baby

Eric and I are expecting our first baby. Despite a little discomfort and concern about our future finance, we are overall wrapped in joy and excitement. Eric has been a wonderful hubby and already a very devoted father (I am jealous : P) Can't really imagine how I will gradually loose the only waist line left ^^ I guess I have to say good bye to my fancy dress for a while.....

fabric for the curtain: $5 (Ikea)
flowers: $.75 (from Walmart....I know..such a steal)
Curtain rod: $4.67 (Walmart)
Little circle string deco: $2.5 (Walmart clearance item)
Labour: Free (Dorothy sew the curatins and Eric install the rob, great team work ^^ give me five !)

Grand Total: about $ 100

Peter the Rabbit



Found several tiny cute bunnies in our wegetable patch. From the little buroughs theye make, we can assume they are already making themselves very comfortable in the patch. Unfortunately, I accidentally cut a little piece of one bunny's ear off when I was trimming the grass. On my defense, I was aware of them and already chased 3 bunnies off before I trimmed the grass. Anyway, still miss that little one. Poor guy...When we are trying to help him out, he still ran veyr fast. Not too worry, after some antibiotic ointment and a day's rest in our house, he is happily back to the patch with his family. He looks pretty ok, when we check on him today.

Big Fat Juicy Caterpillar




Eric and I found a big fat juicy, maybe crunchy (Euw!!!!)caterpillar when we are picking tomatos from our vegetable patch. He is so soft on the touch and cute!! (can't believe I would describe a caterpillar as cute, but he truely is cute....). Today we found out he is gone...and we noticed there are more birds flying over the vegetable patch today...so we are thinking....the little caterpillar probably won't be able to make it to a beautiful butterfly....but anyway, best wishes greeny....we will miss u...
